Perception does not arrive fully formed. It emerges in motion, before recognition, before interpretation, before meaning stabilizes. Before It Settles: What Passes, What Appears brings together two artists who attend to this unstable threshold, where experience is still forming and the visible remains provisional.

Kim, Jung Soo’s work emerges from the accelerated rhythms of the city, where light, movement, and encounter exceed the body’s capacity to fully process them. Her drawings and sculptures spatial compositions abstract fleeting impressions, visual fragments that blur, overlap, and dissolve as quickly as they form. These works hold perception in transition, emphasizing how the body navigates speed through partial recognition and shifting visual residue.

In contrast, Suh’s works focus on the unstable boundary between presence and absence. She traces how bodies, interior states, and environments intersect, attending to phenomena that linger at the threshold of recognition, where perception slows and certainty dissolves. Paint accumulates only to be partially removed, leaving traces of both emergence and disappearance. Forms remain suspended, never fully resolved, holding a state of continuous transformation.

Together, these practices form a dialogue between different conditions of perception. One traces impressions that pass before they are fully grasped, while the other attends to forms that emerge gradually yet remain uncertain. The exhibition invites viewers to remain within this transitional space, where what passes leaves traces, and what appears has not yet settled into certainty.​​​​
